inspect the fiber end-face (or port) using a video microscope to identify contamination. if you see grease or oil from skin contact use the following "wet" procedure: Dab the contaminated end-face with a solvent-dampened wipe (or swab). Documentation Whether you handle fiber on a regular basis or just occasionally, this pocket guide will serve as a useful tool to ensure you never miss a critical step during your fiber testing or troubleshooting. IEC 61300-3-35 is the document every fiber inspection scope, every acceptance test specification, and every network operator references when they say "the connector must be clean. Controlling network loss is becoming an increasingly important task for network engineers as loss budgets get smaller and demands on networks increase and intrinsic to this is testing and inspection of fibers.
